Nomenclature
- Named for Aryabhata I (476-c.550), an Indian astronomer and mathematician.
- [/Maskelyne Maskelyne] E was Catalog entry 247 in the original [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature] of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller]. The name is attributed to Mädler.
- This replacement name for the formerly [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] was apparently introduced on LTO-61D2 (for which it served as the chart title). The name was "approved as assigned" in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIIB IAU Transactions XVIIB] (1979), although chart didn't actually appear until February, 1980, by which time the [/DMA DMA] no longer followed its recent practice of avoiding or replacing lettered crater names. - JimMosher JimMosher
- One could only wonder why the almost identical looking Maskelyne F (south of Maskelyne E / Aryabhata) didn' t receive its own name.- DannyCaes DannyCaes May 15, 2010
